The Indian Women's national team continued their great run in the first-ever Women's SAFF Cup by beating archrivals Pakistan 8-0 in the first semifinal at Cox's Bazar Stadium in Bangladesh. India will now wait to see who wins tomorrow's second semifinal between Nepal and Bangladesh and will face that side in the final on Thursday, December 23.
India were leading 7-0 at the break against another opponent who just wasn't up to our standard. This time Ng. Bala Devi scored three, while Gayatri Mallick scored twice with Sasmita Malick, Amoolya Kamal and Manpreet Kaur also got onto the score sheet.
Ng. Bala Devi opened the scoring in the 18th minute with Gayatri Mallick doubling the lead in the 26th minute before Ng. Bala Devi would score two quick goals in the 31st and 32nd minute to already seal the win just after the half hour mark. And only a minute later midfielder Sasmita Malick would make it 5-0, but this wasn't the end of scoring in the first session as Gayatri Mallick would score her second and India's sixth in the 39th minute before Amoolya Kamal made it 7-0 at the stroke of halftime. India would once more not press too hard in the second session and Manpreet Kaur would make it eight just two minutes from time to finish off a memorable 8-0 victory.
In the group stage India had walked through Group A with a 18-0 hammering of minnows Bhutan, then a 7-0 trashing of Sri Lanka and in the final group game a 6-0 win against hosts Bangladesh. This means our Indian women have so far scored 39 goals and conceded none in their four games, a really impressive performance.
